Weekly Money Check-Up: 7/3

1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on my phone bill. Verizon's testing me with its eternal 'how can we make our customers spend more money'-ness but so far I'm sticking with it.

2. Today I am thankful for a surprise 3:30pm closing time at work! I'm not sure I'll do anything monumental during those two hours but damn if I'm not going to enjoy having them.

3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free thing I did last week that made me happy was playing around with eye makeup last Saturday. Sometimes I love makeup and feel like I don't suck at it, and other times things aren't quite so clear but Saturday? That was a good day.

4. I will consider this week a success if I manage to do laundry before I head to NY this weekend.

5. This July 4th I am hanging out by the pool, having dinner with friends, and if the weather holds out heading to the National Mall for fireworks.

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." --Marilyn Monroe

"It's not about the hundred people whose minds you can't change. It's about the two people you empower." --Beth Ditto

"The whole thing with makeup is you can't be scared. Cause if you don't try and experiment you'll never know what you can create." --Eve Pearl

"Your body is the one thing you TRULY own for the rest of your life, and life is way too short to waste time hating it." --Kerosene Deluxe
